I hear, I say

I haven't posted any of these for a while.

"I hear, I say" incorporates the amusing things said and heard in a house with two five year olds and one chatty three year old....

I hope you get a giggle.

Miss G woke up the other night whimpering and I went in to see her and asked what was wrong...

"I have a sore neck Mama".

"A sore neck - did you bump your head or were you sleeping with it bent up?? Show me where it's sore honey?"

Points inside her mouth then says...

"I have a sore neck on the inside."

"Ahh does it hurt when you swallow?"

"Yes!"

She's anatomically correct though - your throat is the inside of your neck I guess!

Conversation Miss A had with her Grandfather about the whereabouts of her Grandmother - told to us later by her Grandfather...

Miss A: "Where's Grandmazzie today Grandfather?"

GF: "She's gone to see a play."

Miss A: "Oh, what's it called?"

GF: "Hamlet"

Miss A: "Omelette, hmmm, that's a funny name for a play!"

And it's not quite Shakespeare I am guessing.

Miss L singing a song I would happily never hear again for as long as I live called "Fairy Dancing".

"Just listen to your clothes and point your toes."

The correct lyric

"Just listen real close and point your toes."

Miss A while helping me at the sewing table.

Picks up a tool...

Miss A: "Mum, what's this?"

Me: "It's called a tailors awl."

Miss A:  "Oh yeah, I know," breaking into song  "Tailors awl as time, true as it can be...."

Sing it to the tune of Beauty and the Beast - tale as old as time.... got it??

They're small things - but amusing ones.

What made you laugh today??
